The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 62: The Yellow Springs Road, the Gate of Hell

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this sentence.

He recalled the mysterious pattern that Blind Lin drew on the ground with his own blood that night. It looked like a ghost gate. Could it be the ghost gate mentioned in this sentence?

Yue Ling seemed very excited at that time.

Seeing him shaking his head, Yue Ling showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"These twelve words are classified as top secret in the Imperial Observatory. Even Xiao Gao and the others don't know them. Don't tell anyone else in the future."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Jiuyang.

"Can you tell me the origin of these twelve words?"

Yue Ling gave him a deep look and said, "Well, as my peripheral, you will know this sooner or later. Telling you in advance won't be considered a leak."

"There is a case that I have been investigating for nearly ten years."

"In fact, it's not just me. The entire Imperial Observatory is investigating this case. However, after more than a decade, what we know is still just the tip of the iceberg."

After a pause, she said in a deep voice: "The level of this case is...Yuan!"

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked and took a breath of cold air.

Did I hear it right? This case was rated as Abyss-level, an unsolved case that had been investigated for more than ten years with the combined efforts of all the people in the Imperial Observatory?
But he remembered that Lao Gao said that the Yuan level had only appeared in the previous dynasty. The Da Jing Dynasty at that time was severely damaged because of the evil spirit of the Yuan level. From then on, it was on the decline and heroes all over the world competed for supremacy.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the abyss-level evil is not handled properly, it is enough to destroy a country!
But Zhang Jiuyang soon realized that Lao Gao didn't know, probably because his level was not high enough.

The Imperial Observatory is divided into five ranks, from the highest to the lowest: the Chief Observer, the Deputy Observer, the Marquis Observer, the Lingtai Lang and the Sichen.

Whenever an evil spirit appeared somewhere causing trouble, Si Chen would often be sent to deal with it first. If he could kill the evil spirit, he would do so. If not, he would gather information and report for help.

Lingtai Lang will only be sent when Si Chen is unable to resolve the problem.

Maybe Lao Gao participated in the investigation of that Yuan-level case, but he himself did not know the inside story.

"That case is called the Huangquan case. The core of it is an organization called Huangquan. It is said that many terrible evil spirits gather there. Its leader calls himself Tianzun."

"Many of the major cases, murders, and unsolved cases in the Imperial Observatory in recent decades have vaguely been linked to this organization."

Yue Ling's voice was very solemn, especially when he mentioned the word "Tianzun", Zhang Jiuyang felt a chilling murderous intent.

At the same time, he also knew why she came to his house tonight. The pattern drawn by Blind Lin must be related to Huangquan, and she was Blind Lin's apprentice. She thought she might know something.

"The Imperial Observatory made great sacrifices, but the information they received was very limited. Once, a powerful senior successfully infiltrated the organization and thought they saw hope, but..."

Her voice was somewhat heavy.

"Soon after, the senior died a violent death, leaving behind only these twelve words written in blood."

The Yellow Springs Road, the Gates of Hell, the Ten Heavenly Stems, and chaos in the human world.

Zhang Jiuyang's expression was solemn, which made Yue Ling, who was at the fifth level, feel powerful. The senior who had penetrated into Huangquan must have had an impressive cultivation base. But even so, he still died tragically, leaving behind only these twelve words.

This shows how weird and terrifying this organization is.

"Since Blind Lin might be involved in the Huangquan case, why don't you ask the higher-ups to send more reinforcements?"

Zhang Jiuyang suggested.

Yue Ling shook her head and said, "I have already reported it, but evil spirits have appeared frequently in various places recently, and I can't mobilize enough manpower for the time being."

After a pause, she seemed to think that Zhang Jiuyang would be scared after knowing the news, so she stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, since you are my peripheral, I will do my best to protect you."

"you misunderstood."

Zhang Jiuyang raised his eyes and the two looked at each other in the moonlight.

"Don't say that Blind Lin might just be related to the Huangquan case. Even if he is the so-called Heavenly Lord..."

He showed a sunny smile and said, "I'm going to kill him too."

Yue Ling was startled for a moment, then smiled faintly, looking at the handsome young man in white clothes with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"It's courageous. I like it."

She stood with her hands behind her back, like a general reviewing his troops, with a majestic demeanor and bright eyes, and said: "For what you said, you are worthy of the Taiyue Sword of our ancestor, Duke Dingguo!"

"But you still have to follow me closely tomorrow."

Her voice was not loud, but it contained an indescribable dominance.

"Within ten feet, I will keep you alive."

Zhang Jiuyang looked at her beautiful face. Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as jade, her bones were handsome, and her figure under the black clothes was well-proportioned and slender. If she were put in the future, she would definitely be the kind of cold and domineering queen who could attract both men and women and had full charm.

"Your mind is distracted and your breathing rhythm is wrong."

Yue Ling frowned slightly, took a step forward towards him, leaned forward to observe him carefully, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

This time, all Zhang Jiuyang could smell was the fragrance of her hair. From a close distance, he could see that the skin on Yue Ling's face was flawless, as white and flawless as mutton-fat jade.

He is worthy of being a great cultivator of the fifth realm.

"It's not the restlessness of the Hundred Days' Gate, nor is it a problem with your practice. What's wrong with you?"

Yue Ling asked with some doubt.

Zhang Jiuyang quickly took a step back, coughed and said with a smile: "General Yue, I understand. I will follow you closely when we go into the mountains tomorrow."

Yue Ling nodded and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

She turned to leave, but she didn't know what she was thinking about. She paused and said, "We can be considered friends now. You don't have to call me General Yue all the time. If you don't mind, you can call me Longhu."

Longhu is her name, and she usually only lets people close to her call her that.

Zhang Jiuyang's face was filled with black lines.

Dragon Tiger...

All of a sudden the atmosphere was gone.

It was as if he was calling a seven-foot-tall man with chest hair.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The four people and one ghost were ready to go into the mountains.

Zhang Jiuyang was still wearing the white brocade robe, with a jade hairpin on his head, a long sword in his hand, and a wooden box on his back. Lao Gao was amazed at the sight and joked that he was some noble young man who came to enjoy the spring.

Yue Ling put on the heavy eight-treasure dragon scale armor again, covering her slim and attractive figure.

Lao Gao and Luo Ping led the way. They had explored the outskirts of Chenjia Village once before and seemed to be very familiar with the route. However, the further they went, the more Zhang Jiuyang felt something was wrong.

As they walked, they seemed to have come into another world. The sunlight above their heads could not penetrate the dense tree canopy at all, and the surroundings were very dark.

From time to time, the cries of crows could be heard in the forest, as if indicating that the road ahead was dangerous.

As they went deeper, thick fog floated in, and soon the vision was less than two feet, as if it was going to separate them.

"Everyone be careful, this mountain fog can make people lose their way. I'll go get a compass..."

Before Lao Gao finished speaking, he heard Yue Ling say, "Don't bother. I'll use my Dharma Eye to clear the way. You two hold each other's hands and don't get lost."

After saying that, she took a step forward, and a vertical mark shaped like an eye appeared between her eyebrows, shining brightly.

This strange mountain fog is as clear as fire in front of the Dharma Eye, and everything can be seen at a glance.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave. This is not a good place to stay."

Zhang Jiuyang only felt a cold touch in his hand. It turned out that Yue Ling was holding his hand and pulling him forward.

She wore specially made gold-wire soft armor on her hands, which was soft yet tough.

They walked forward hand in hand. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yue Ling suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, boss?"

“Martial law.”

She gave an order, then suddenly pulled out the Dragon Sparrow Sword, nailing the handle with both hands to the ground. Her pupils seemed to be burning with golden flames, and her aura was fierce and domineering.

A shrill scream was heard, and the ground beneath her feet was oozing with blood, which smelled very foul.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Zhang Jiuyang was just wondering when he heard a series of strange noises coming from beside him, as if something was gradually moving away.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Those things just now... seemed to be only a few steps away from them!
And judging from the footsteps, there are probably quite a few of them.
